About me

Guiding principles

I believe that every language learner is different, every brain is different and therefore every language learning journey is different. I believe that learning can and should be enjoyable and that everybody is capable of it, provided you set relevant and realistic goals and use the right strategies to reach those goals. I can help you with that!

Neuroscience

My classes all use research in neuroscience to underpin my learning strategies. The brain is plastic ​and can grow new connections even in old age. A stressed brain cannot effectively absorb new information, which is why I focuse on creating a brain-friendly learning environment. Through exercises that target specific areas of your brain, I will help you develop your fluency skills. No pain, happy brain, big gain!

Language learning is a skill. Skills can be learned.
